Just for my own understanding:

I always thought that when all options were covered that we generally
kept a default just in case someone added another enum and forgot to
update the code.

I know generally those are with elog ERRORs but both would be designed
to alert a programmer, just at different times.

There are other examples in that file with the switch
(part_scheme->strategy), these are not using enums. I'd have to assume
that these must be different because of that.
